Today, we join our friends at @eurogroupforanimals.org to tell the @ec.europa.eu hat it's time ⏳
To #EndtheCageAge for all farmed animals.
And to better protect them by modernising rules that are up to 20 years old.
Our eyes are on the 2027 work programme.
🐖 The EU's sows spend 160 days a year in cages that offer just 2% of the space they need for full locomotion.
📈 Free farrowing could deliver €44bn in #AnimalWelfare benefits.

But calves, rabbits and many other farmed animals have been left out so far.
Citizens are asking for it. NGOs are asking for it. Most surveyed farmers say they would go cage-free with the right support. Now the Commission must deliver, for all animals. ⏰
Hens, like Henrietta, are sometimes compared to dogs. 🐓
But unlike dogs, these birds are not typically treated like beloved household pets.
Far from it.
It's impossible for a hen to live a good life behind bars. The EU needs a cage ban - as soon as possible.
Cages are one of the worst factory farming practices there is.
Gestation crates, as pictured on the left, are so small that pigs confined in them cannot even turn around. This cruelty needs to end.
Mother pigs deserve space to move, nest and care for their piglets. Take action now. tinyurl.com/farrowingpigs #EndTheCageAge

END the cage age, once and for all. ❌
But for calves, rabbits and the many other animals still confined in cages, there is nothing on the table yet.
A first step is not the end of the cage age. ⏰
It’s time for the Commission to act now! Let’s make space, no excuses: share this post!

Tierschützer:innen fordern in Brüssel ein Verbot von Käfigen.
Ich gehöre zu denen, die seinerzeit die #EndTheCageAge Petition an die EU mit unterzeichnet haben. Käfigeier sind immer noch in Fertigprodukten enthalten.

Yesterday we were in Brussels reminding the EU Commission of one thing: it's time to #EndTheCageAge.
The Commission has committed to proposals to ban cages for hens and sows. Now it must deliver and set out a clear path to end cages for all species.
Oggi eravamo fuori dalla sede della Commissione UE per rappresentare le richieste di 1,4 milioni di cittadini e 170 ONG.
Il nostro messaggio era semplice: basta ritardi.
Dillo anche tu alla Commissione UE👉 t.ly/no-more-cages
Today we were outside the @ec.europa.eu to represent the demands of 1.4m citizens, 170 NGOs, and 82% of surveyed farmers.
Our message was simple: enough delays. It's time to #EndtheCageAge
Tell the Commission you’re tired of waiting ⏰https://www.endthecageage.eu/en/it-s-time-to-end-the-cage-age/
🍂 Autumn is here. Millions of animals across Europe won't notice - because they're still in cages.
But @ec.europa.eu knows. This is when it promised its proposals to phase out cages.

V klietkach ich drží výroba foie gras - ročne sa jej obeťou stane 32 miliónov zvierat.
Kačky a husi sú vnímavé a inteligentné bytosti. Zaslúžia si viac než mreže.
